Hi, just joined, live just outside Aberdeen Scotland, I have a 1982 GS1000E with GSXR forks/wheels etc. Hopefully managed to attach picture of my bike.

Welcome.
Interesting bike. Are you sure it's an '82? Pretty sure that wasn't available here.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after. -
Welcome to the site, Matt.
Some nice improvements on the bike.
What is the story on the paint?2@ \'78 GS1000Comment

Wowsers!
That's an interesting bike!
I love Scotland...my wife was born in Coatbridge so I've been in the area (Edinburgh and Glasgow).
I love seeing pics of bikes from Europe with backdrops that are nothing like the US. Please ride out and capture those beautiful sceneries of your country with your bike as the focus. Thanks!

Hi Matt and welcome to GSR.
Great looking bike and fantastic paint job! Glad to see you didn't go with 'girder' forks.

Welcome to the nut house Matt. You're among the nuttier if you drink Irn Bru, absolutely foul stuff, IMO. LOL!
BTW, nice bike.
While in Fort William a few years back, my wife picked up a can and asked the clerk what it tasted like, he wavered and thought for a bit and then said "it....it tastes like.......it tastes like Scotland!"Last edited by allojohn; 11-18-2016, 08:54 AM.-Mal
